Why Snapchat?

Snapchat is an app where you can send picture messages, text messages, call, facetime, use silly filters, and post pictures. You can connect with people all over the world, you can see their location, what they’re doing (if they posted or snapped you about it), how long ago they were active, etc. There are so many different things you can do with snapchat, it’s crazy. Talking to your friends has never been easier and they’re always a click away. There are many benefits to having snapchat, like I mentioned before. Snapchat is where you can send and post candid and casual pictures. It’s a fun, entertaining and authentic app. It’s less formal than facebook or Instagram, where you try to look your best always and make sure you don’t post things that hurt others feelings. Facebook is the social media account that you have your grandparents on so obviously you’re less likely to post things that don’t mean anything. On facebook, you’re probably posting about your family, cute quotes, silly memes that are appropriate for younger kids, etc. Unless your account is private on facebook, anyone can see your stuff which sometimes isn’t such a good thing. Facebook and snapchat are similar in the way that you can get your news from the social media platforms. On snapchat there is less social pressure, there’s no like button and the snapchats disappear after 24 hours or after you open the snap that was sent to you. Snapchat is a way for people to express their artistic side by being able to draw on posts, use filters or create filters even, you can pick your caption and pretty much everything about the picture.
